Broken Balljoint

What happens when the balljoint snaps?

 

Does the car die a horrible and gruesome death when the wheel falls off and you plough into a fence/wall/hedge/tree/barrier/pedestrian :S

pretty much, depends on your reaction to the scenario and speed your doing etc. Never snapped a ball joint but had them pop apart before whilstdriving. Very loud bang and suddenly the front end drops. luckily I was in straight line slow speed mode. Even so, its scary yet controlable.

Yes, apparently the joints fail really quickly on bumpy roads.
